May I Introduce To You . . .

The Gritty City Track Club. Where are our medals!

Let us take it back to Romper Room and look in our magic mirror. We see (from left to right) Miguel, Jaime, Richard, Ann, Neil, Karen, Bridget, Alex, Colleeen, Julio, Amy, John, Gail and Max.

Where's Jason? Where's Annie? When you do six marathons in six months, a group picture is not a challenge. Elena? She is so fast we missed her.

GCTC. We are just getting started!

Mud Can't Stop Us Now

GCTC invaded Irvine for the Inaugural OC Mud Run on July 18, 2009.

Can you really fit seven people in a Ford Pick-Up?

Do you really pay money to run on the hottest day of the year?

Can they really call it a mud run if there is no mud?

Who are the So Cal Pasadena Boys?

How many does it take to figure out a race course?

How much swag can you fit in a bag?

Did the team place and win an award?

What's a nooner?

The answers to these questions next time . . .

Tune in next post. Same Blog address. Same Blog Channel.

Stay Gritty.

**Update: GCTC took third place at the "nooner" event.

Are you gritty?

Are you willing to take it? Can you sacrifice just enough to obtain it? What lengths are you willing to go? Can you endure it? The answer to these questions is within you. Ultimately, these questions can be summed up as follows: Can you get gritty?

We all have our own goals that center around fitness, maintenance and improvement. Whether you need to get fit, stay fit or increase your fitness, you found the right place. Whether you need to obtain that elusive qualifier, you found the right place. Whether you need to work with a group that will work with you, you found the right place. All you have to do is believe.

Stay gritty.
